Thanks for the clarification.
Feature request: add some way to set arbitrary color manipulation. Best would be if you could have multiple different manipulations in the pipeline. Either add the option to the imagemanip node or create a separate color manipulation node.
What I want to do is dynamically mask out parts of the image with high saturation. So that everything except white and gray will become black. This is because I want to do some classic computer vision to detect white labels without training a whole ai-model.
